Business showcase: Banksia Preschool & Long Daycare

Coffs for Kids is pleased to welcome Banksia Preschool and Long Daycare as an advertiser to our website. You can find their listing under ‘Playgroups and Day Care’.

Banksia Preschool and Long Day Care is located in Toormina and caters for 27 child aged between 2 and 6 years.

There are three things that stand out to me that make Banksia impressive:

1. Banksia is locally owned and operated by two sisters, so is family run business.

2.  The other thing which is impressive about Banksia is that they were awarded the best possible rating in all seven quality areas by the National Childcare Accreditation Council.

3. Banksia has a carefully planned and dedicated unique school readiness program which prepares kids for Kindergarten in a number of areas:

1. Literacy, numeracy and memory skills
2. Language and comprehension skills
3. Personal self help and social skills
4. Fine and gross motor skills

In addition to this, there are some other great features in the day to day running of the centre: a drawing centre, playdough manipulation, home corner and dramatic play, sandpit, creative play, movement and expression, free-play outdoor play and a bike track.
